Hi there!
I am Stephen!
I am professional wedding and drone photographer based out of Farmington, NY. I've been shooting weddings since 2017 and I love photographing them. I love working with the client and using my skills to translate that into a beautiful image.
I use my DJI Mavic 3 as my go-to drone for my commercial drone work. I obtained my Part 107 AAA license in 2018 and in 2021, I acquired my daylight-waiver. This allows me to to fly my drone at night for commercial purposes.
When I'm not doing weddings or using my drone, I also photograph couples, birthday parties, senior photos and other special events.
For those who are interested, I shoot with 2 Sony full frame mirrorless cameras and have a full off-camera Godox Flash kit to help light any subject I'm photographing.
Please contact me using the "Contact me" section or text me at 585-622-4228 to discuss hiring me to photograph your vision.

Hazy sunset last night. Haze is coming from the smoke of the Canadian wildfires.

From this morning’s moonset in Victor, NY.
I thought the red barn provided just the right amount of foreground elements.

@lakehousecdga sunset. 15 second exposure as it was quite windy out and it made the lake’s water so smooth.
